First time using Photoshop. The menus and tsunami of choices/edits/alterations can be quite intimidating when viewed as a whole. I look forward to a time where I can look back at this post and have a laugh; knowing what I will know then.
The subject of my self portrait is my four legged best friend Lucky. He’s 16 years old and often likes to stare out, almost as if he is contemplating his role in the greater universe. I often refer to him as the “old man” which maybe hypercritical of me, since I’m a few months from the half century mark myself and have decided to return to school for the love of animation and story telling.
Perhaps the dog isn’t the only one who’s “spaced out”…
